Look of the Day #100

LOTD

HAPPY 100 LOOK OF THE DAY! 

I can’t believe I have created 100 looks, when I started this blog almost 2 years ago, I had no idea I would still be able to create outfits, I do have to say I have worn multiple pieces time and time again on my blog, but I have mixed them up and made them fresh and new. One of my favorite things about fashion is the ability to re-wear outfits in different ways and using what you have in your closet to put together a look. You can constantly have new outfits without breaking the bank. 

Today’s look of the day is perfect for the spring weather we are experiencing. Last weekend, I was home to celebrate Easter with my family. I had found this dress a few months back and I couldn’t wait to wear it for Spring. Let’s get to this new number.

Floral for Easter

I was browsing a few months ago for some new pieces to add to my collection and one trend I kept seeing was floral patterns in different pieces. I found this perfect spring dress at Old Navy. I love that it is can be worn more dressed up for Church, going to work with a pair of heels and a sweater or more casual with a pair of sandals, and jean jacket. I got this floral pattern in a dress and scarf, but they also had it in blouses, tank tops, and dress pants. How fun?! Although, I could have gotten it in every article of clothing I opted for just the dress and scarf. Hereare similar dresses from Old Navy with the pattern in different cuts and styles. 

I decided to dress this outfit up with a pair of heels. I absolutely love these pale-yellow heels. I got them from DSW from Kelly and Katie.Although, I don’t wear a lot of yellow, when I do have a lighter dress, or floral dress these shoes are the perfect pop of color. They tie the dress and other accessories together in a beautiful and simple way.

Up close of the details

I know this dress is going to be worn in heavy rotation this summer. The possibilities are endless with a bold dress like this to dress up or down. What article would you wear this pattern in? Dress? Blouse? Scarf? Dress Pants? Let me know in the comments below! Have a fantastic weekend. Enjoy the spring weather and spend some time outside!

Look of the Day #99

Hello All!

Happy Thursday!

I am home for the next few days for Easter Break, it will be my last time home for the semester. I can’t believe the next time I will be home it will be after my junior year is over. It’s so crazy to wrap my head around the fact that my time in college is coming to an end. I have plenty of reflections of my junior year coming up but for now, I am enjoying some time at home before I am back to school to finish the semester off strong. 

Today’s look of the day, is a very exciting one…we have finally reached the time in the year where I don’t need to wear a jacket 24/7!!! I kid you not, I was able to run errands in just a sweater and short sleeve shirt. It has been a VERY long winter and I am more than ready for spring. Let’s break down this outfit that is very neutral and very blue. 

A neutral look going into spring

As always, Old Navy is my go-to for jeans. I am currently on the look for a pair of capris or skinny jeans, I’m planning on browsing Old Navy when I am home just to see what they have. I also, wore a crisp white short sleeve shirt from GAP to pair with the jeans, I love the look of jeans and a white shirt, I’m also on the look for another white blouse to dress up a pair of jeans, but for now, a white short sleeve shirt is perfect for running errands like I am today.

I love a light sweater especially when it’s a bit windy outside. I got this blue sweater from Target a few years back, I don’t wear it often but when I do, I like to just carry it with me especially in the summer when I am out to dinner and the weather gets cooler. I also like how the blue and white colors complement each other. 

I wanted to add a fun accessory to my outfit which is where my bag came in. If you remember, I got this purse from Chicago last spring. In the wise words of Carrie Bradshaw…this couldn’t be more true, purses and shoes are my weakness haha!

This bag was not only a cute accessory but held everything I needed when I was out and about. I also topped off my outfit with a brown wedge. 

99 looks later

This is just a quick look into what I am wearing as we are heading into spring. I can’t believe we are at 99 looks, I will have a VERY spring outfit picked out for you next week for the 100th look of the day so stay tuned! Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Easter if you celebrate!

See you on Tuesday!

Look of the Day #98

LOTD

Hi guys!

Happy Thursday!

I hope you all have had a fulfilling and productive week! Today’s look of the day is going to be a bit different since I am going to be talking about a fashion trend and making it your own. 

One trend that never seems to go out of style is concert t-shirts. They are a great piece of memorabilia from going to your favorite concert and you can wear them time and time again, the one problem I have with concert t-shirts is knowing where and when to wear them. Just with jeans? With sweats around the house or to the gym? It can be a hard piece of clothing to wear with outfits. After collecting t-shirts from a lot of concerts, I think I found the solution. Make a statement outfit with you t-shirt.

Favorite mantra-favorite concert

I’m going to show you an outfit I styled a few weeks ago, that still looks put together even with a t-shirt. Let’s get to it!

We will start with the central part of the outfit-the concert t-shirt. Last summer, I went to see The Piano Guys in concert in New York, for those of you who aren’t familiar with The Piano Guys, you should totally check them out they started on YouTube, perform covers of hit songs as well as write their own songs. They are still an up and coming group but already have a large following. I got one of their t-shirts when I saw them over the summer, their shirt is a quote from one of my favorite songs from them. You can listen to it here-seriously such an uplifting and motivating song. 

  • The Piano Guys
  • One of my favorite summer shows
  • Check them out on Youtube
  • The Piano Guys
  • Throwback to seeing them in concert last year!

Now, back to the outfit details, I paired this shirt with a new pair of black leggings that are fleece lined! Your girl is officially in heaven, not only are these leggings comfortable and long lasting but are now extra warm-perfect for cool evenings or chilly days. Believe it or not, I got these leggings for Christmas from the Hallmark store- you never know where you are going to find a new piece of clothing to add to your collection. 

Up close of the outfit

I paired the dark leggings with my go to high black boots from DSW, which as much as I hate to say it, I think this might be my last time wearing them for the season since Spring is around the corner, as much as I am ready and here for Spring, I’m going to miss these staple shoes in my winter collection. 

Closer look at one of my favorite parts-the fleece lined leggings!

Since it was still a bit chilly out, I decided to wear my long off-white sweater just to have an extra layer on. I’ve talked about this sweater time and time again but it truly is a go-to sweater for my wardrobe in every season. The sweater is from the Scandal Collection at The Limited. 

This outfit is the perfect compromise for making your favorite concert t-shirts into an outfit. What are your favorite ways to wear your favorite concert t-shirts?!

Let me know in the comments below!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Look of the Day #54

Hello and Happy Summer (I think we are in the clear for summer weather)!!  Yay!! It’s been a long time coming but I think it is safe to take out the shorts, grill supplies and umbrellas as summer is here to stay.

Today, I am sharing an outfit I wore for a Memorial Day picnic. I had a great 3 day weekend spent with barbecuing, seeing family and kicking off summer. It was a well spent holiday weekend. In addition, the warm 80 degree weather made it even better to celebrate the start of summer.

White and Blue for the start of summer!

When it comes to fashion,  I am a firm believer of wearing white after Memorial Day, so I was very excited to break out these white capris.  I have worn all these items with other outfits but, for this outfit I decided to match them all together.

I got these white Capris from American Eagle. I haven’t shopped there in a while, I got them a few years back, but they were a great buy and I have worn them again and again with different outfits in the summer.

I love this top. I got it from Francesca’s Boutique last year. I love the material as it is very lightweight.  I have worn it with shorts in the past but loved pairing it with the capris for a more dressier look.  I also love how it is one shoulder, it really changes up an outfit. The blue and white combo is one of my new favorite pairings.

Since, I went to a picnic, I paired my capris and top with a pair of nude wedges. These are my favorite summer sandals to wear to picnics, grad parties, and other summer events. A wedge is crucial to have in your wardrobe. Whether, it is high or short, a wedge can go with any summer outfit.

My biggest accessory are not having glasses, I finally decided to make a change and get contacts for my 20th birthday. It took some practice but I am very happy with the final result.

That’s a look into my Memoial Day outfit and a start into my summer wardrobe. Have a great weekend filled with sunshine and warm weather.

Hello All!

Happy Thursday! We are almost to the end of the  work week and then there is a long weekend ahead for Memorial Weekend! How are you celebrating the holiday weekend? Pool party? Cookout? Fireworks? I’ll be spending time with family and at some fun barbecues. I’m ready to kick off summer!

To start off today’s look of the day, I do have a disclaimer, last week I promised to share more business outfits and I will, but I wore this outfit over the weekend and I couldn’t resist sharing it. I’ll be sharing more business casual outfits coming up soon!

I will admit, I am a short girl, I’m only 5’3”, so most of the time, I can’t wear maxi dresses or skirts. If I do wear them I typically have to wear them with heels or wedges or I must find short maxi dresses or skirts which can be a challenge. When I do find a dress or skirt that works, I immediately pick it up. I love how they are flowy, comfortable, versatile and great for traveling.

Fun for the summer sun!

Onto the dress details. I got this maxi dress from Old Navy a few years ago and I love to wear it since it hasn’t gone out of style. I chose navy blue since it is a neutral color and you can mix and match it with other colors and patterns. The fabric is so soft which makes it even more comfortable to wear. Plus, can we talk about how cute the open back is?! I love the cut out and it adds a great style to this simple dress.

How cute are these shoes?!

I decided to pair my maxi dress with a pair of leather peep toe boots. I got them from T. J. Maxx and they were a great buy!  I will only be able to wear these for a few more weeks since they are more of a spring and fall boot. I love how the navy and brown work so well together. Also, the heel makes sure that my maxi dress won’t drag on the ground. Another must for us short girls!

I love the open back and this purse went great with the outfit.

I was looking for a more unique purse and realized this would be the perfect opportunity to use my new bag from my trip to Chicago. I got it from Bloomingdales. It was the perfect size to hold a sweater, my phone, and wallet. I love how it really changed my outfit and made it more fun and functional!

I hope this gives you a new idea to mix and match your summer outfits up. What is something essential you always have to have with you when you are out and about? Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day with your family and loved ones. Have a great start to summer!!

Hello All!

It’s officially the start of summer (or work season for me)! This will be a busy summer for me as I will be doing an internship and working part time. I’m super excited to learn new things and be exposed to new experiences!  Due to these jobs, I will be working in a professional setting and I will be wearing a lot of business casual outfits this summer. The next few looks I will be sharing will be geared towards a business style.

It’s all about looking professional today on the blog.

Today, is my first professional attire look, I got these navy blue, dress pants from The Limited. I love how they can go with any bold blouse, sweater set, or cardigan.  The length on them works great if you want to pair either a ballet flat, small pump or stiletto with them. The quality is also long lasting, I have had them for a few years and have worn them on numerous occasions.

Along with the blue dress pants, I am wearing a bold pink and navy-blue top alongside the pants. I wanted to break up the solid pattern with my pants. I got this silky long sleeve top from Francesca’s Boutique. Previously, I have worn this top with cotton skirts, leggings, and even jeans, it is so versatile. I personally like to wear this top with business looks, but it never hurts to mix it with other outfits.

Lastly, I wanted to rave about these navy-blue pumps I am rocking on my feet. I got them from DSW, several years ago. I don’t wear them too often since I typically wear black or brown shoes, but I love how these neutral shoes really break up my outfit.

That’s a peak into my closet today on the more formal side of things. If there is ever a look you want to see styled. Let me know in the comments below! I am always open to new ideas and styles. Have the best weekend!!

Hi All!

I’m super excited for today’s post….wanna guess why?! First, I’m hours away from being done with my sophomore year of college. Only one final today and although, I am working till Saturday it will good just to hang out with friends for a few days before summer starts. Second, it FINALLY feels like Spring. Yes, this whole week has been in the 70’s and 80’s. I am so happy, to be finally wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts. This winter has been too long! Spring is here and have never been happier!

Springing into Spring

Now, onto this springy outfit. I wanted to wear an outfit that could work both in the chilly morning but warm afternoon. I got these shorts from Old Navy. I love Old Navy’s shorts. There are not only comfortable, but they are a good length. Not too long and not too short. I got these pair in black and tan, so I can wear them with a variety of tops. I got my black and white ¾ length shirt from Old Navy as well. I have worn it with jeans or leggings in the past, but I love wearing it with a pair of shorts. I am always cold and try to wear a sweater with most outfits, this long sleeve shirt does the trick for solving that issue.

Lastly, my shoes are my go-to converse for spring. They are not only cute but also comfortable. And matched my outfit great for my black and white combo.

I am so happy spring finally sprung, its time for good vibes only once I am done with this last final. I cant wait to start dressing more springy now that it is finally acting like spring. To all the moms out there have a wonderful and hopefully relaxing day with your kiddos!

See you next week for a VERY special post.

Happy Thursday or as I like to call it…Friday EVE!

I’m super excited about sharing this outfit with you today mostly because it’s a perfect weekend outfit.  This is my last official weekend on campus before the end of the semester. How I will be spending it??? Preparing for finals and hanging out with friends!

It’s friday eve!!

This outfit is perfect for some fun weekend vibes. First, I love this shirt. It most definitely screams weekend!! I got it from Francesca’s a few years ago so they may not sell it but I love how simple it is and you can’t beat the cute FRI-YAY!

I have worn this shirt previously with shorts in the summer or jeans in the fall. I can’t wait to wear it more in the summer. Although, it is May, it has been still pretty chilly out…c’mon! I am beyond ready for spring!! I wore these fun Aztec print pants from Francesca’s as well. Rather than wearing jeans or leggings I wanted to bring in a new pattern to my outfit.

Of course, no outfit of mine would be complete without a sweater…yes even in May I am always cold especially in air conditioned buildings. I got mine from Tilly’s and I love the big sweater feel it gives but I am on the hunt for some cute cardigans for summer. I also wore my converse to top the outfit off.

Although, I love my whole outfit put together, the shirt is my favorite. What is your weekend necessity? Here’s to hoping the weather gets warm and stays warm!!!

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Happy Thursday! It’s crazy to think we are in the last week of April. Like every Thursday, I am sharing what’s in my closet and what I’m wearing. The weather is slowing warming up, but I am more than ready for Spring and Summer. Right now, the weather by me is in the 50’s so it’s still a bit brisk. With weather like this, I like to still dress in lighter layers in case it gets warmer or cooler.

Happy Spring (is it safe to say that?!)

My favorite part of my outfit is this shirt. I got it from Simply Southern. If you haven’t heard about their company, go check them out. They have the cutest clothing for summer. Not only is the quote on the sleeve cute, but the back is my favorite. Even though it was still cool out, I brought spring vibes out with this shirt.

Love the back

I decided to layer this top with this light blue vest from Francesca’s Boutique. I have worn it in the fall with flannels, but I love how it can go with any outfit. It also kept me warm against the cool breeze.

I am wearing my favorite jeggings from Target. They not only kept me comfortable but warm. As much as I love to wear leggings, I am looking forward to putting them away for Spring and Summer.  I am in desperate need of sun and some rays.

Finally, to top off my outfit, I wore my favorite simple converse. I love my converse, I wear them all the time in the spring weather it’s with shorts, leggings, or even a t-shirt dress. They are a staple in my wardrobe come spring.

That’s what I am wearing today, here’s to hoping the weather stays nice and warm. Have a wonderful weekend loves!

Wish Upon A Star

xoxo

Hello! Hello!

Such a beautiful spring day. This is my view on my way to campus every day

Last week finally felt like spring. The sun was shining, the windows were open, people were studying outside; it made me so ready for spring!! I took advantage of this burst of warm weather by dressing very springy. My friends and I made a quick stop to Dunkin Donuts before class hence the frozen drink and backpack, this is a college student in her natural habitat.

Finally acting like spring!

Starting with my top, I go this last year from Francesca’s Boutique. I have worn it previously with this outfit. This was the perfect occasion to wear this sleeveless top. I also like the material and fit and how it can be worn with many outfits.

My jeggings are from Target. When it comes to spring and the weather changes from morning to evening, I try to wear a short sleeve top and long pants or vice versa.

These are my favorite spring boots. I love the peep toe and the thick heel. They are perfect for transitional seasons. I got these from T. J. Maxx, I can’t wait to wear them more often this season. Also, I am a heel fan, and these are super comfortable as well. I typically find wedges or thick heels much more comfortable than thin heels.

My sunglasses are from American Eagle. I love their fun and unique style. They were on sale so that makes me love them even more!!

This outfit definitely got me in the mood for summer. I am ready to break out the pastels, shorts, and bathing suits.

What are you most looking forward to when it comes to summer? Vacations, picnics, beach days, tanning? I’m looking forward to all of it.

See you all next week. One week closer to the long awaited summer.
